Description Lorenzo Salvadore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-08-19 18:43:14 UTC 
The Makefile has USE_GCC=12, however the port does not depend on gcc12 and depends on gcc11 instead (see make all-depends-list, see index, see freshports etc.).

Since I am now maintaining most of gcc ports, I am going to investigate about why USE_GCC=12 does not work as expected and try to fix it. However, if the port is working fine with gcc11, it is porbably better to set USE_GCC=yes instead (or even better try clang, if it works).

See also make test-gcc, which is probably the most helpful.
Comment 2 Lorenzo Salvadore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-08-19 19:16:21 UTC 
I have studied the issue and I discovered that bsd.gcc.mk is fine. The problem is in the port Makefile only: USES=cc-c++11-lib overrides USE_GCC=12 and set USE_GCC=11 instead. You can check it with make -V USE_GCC.
Comment 3 Tatsuki Makino 2022-08-20 02:48:04 UTC 
I am also concerned that USES=compiler:foo-bar even determines the version of the compiler to be used.
I think it would be better for USES=compiler:foo-bar to determine the range of compiler versions to be used, and let USE_GCC and USE_LLVM determine the final version to be used....

    lang/guile: Remove USE_GCC=12

    The Makefile has USE_GCC=12, however the port does not depend on gcc12
    and depends on gcc11 instead. Somehow the USES=cc-c++11-lib overrides
    USE_GCC=12 and this port perfectly builds with GCC 11
